About your tutor

I am a dedicated tutor with 5 years of experience, specializing in teaching ACT Reading to high school and college students. My teaching style is focused on creating a supportive and engaging environment where students feel comfortable to ask questions and grow their skills. I personalize each lesson to fit the individual learning style of the student, using interactive exercises, real-life examples, and tailored strategies to enhance reading comprehension and test-taking skills. Through breaking down complex passages and focusing on critical thinking, I help students tackle the ACT with confidence and improve their performance. In addition to ACT Reading, I also teach critical reading, vocabulary development, and writing strategies to ensure that students strengthen their foundational skills. My goal is to help each student not only succeed on the ACT but also become a more confident and effective reader and thinker.
